If you're getting the "not a valid resource" message, your query has a problem. Either your connection has failed, or perhaps you've used an invaild fieldname in your query...for example, using this query...

SELECT subject FROM articles WHERE aid='$id'

...when the field is called "title" instead of subject, or where there is an "articleid" field, as opposed to an "aid" field.
